The customisation when mass pitching and ease of use in updating fields > > **Cons**: Can be clunky when editing text in the box, errors and words jump around. When creating lists, you can mass add to lists, you need to go page by page, which if you forget to save, can take time > > Overall, it's been a game changer for media distribution and understanding the ever changing landscape of Ireland's media. I've had it a year and it's my favourite tool. ----- ### "Fantastic Service" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *October 29, 2025* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and update, the frequent updating of contacts who have left/joined organisations is hugely helpful\! Also, the ease of curating bespoke distribution lists has been hugely helpful and acts as a great offering for clients of IDA. > > **Cons**: Lists feature was initially difficult to navigate (adding someone from a private list while also adding a contact from the MediaHQ list), however after querying with your customer success team it was explained clearly. > > Very positive, incredibly easy to use with features that make the press release process much more efficient. Also very easy to edit/reschedule which is important in PR\! ----- ### "MediaHQ is a must for any PR/Comms practioner" — 5.0/5 > **Miriam** | *July 10, 2026* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For me MediaHQ is an important cog in my small media consultancy business. I don't have time to be keeping up to date with media contacts in what is a fast moving sector with lots of turn over and change. I have every confidence that my press releases reach the proper eyes, and in that way i am serving my clients really well. The system is also really easy to use, and the customer support is immense with almost immediate response to queries or issues. As well as press release distribution MediaHQ is invaluable is helping me pitch directly to journalists, editors and producers. Its media lists are very comprehensive and east to search. > > **Cons**: The only negative - and there is really only this from my view point - is that sometimes contacts are not updated quickly enough. But currently there is so much change in media in Ireland with lots of movement that it would be hard to keep up to date. > > My experience has been excellent. For me this is a vital tool in my small business. I would be lost without it and it saves me, a one person operation, so much time. ----- ### "Ireland's Leading Media Database" — 5.0/5 > **Karen** | *May 18, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use for creating and managing media list, making it quicker and more streamlined and easier to manage campaigns and press release distribution. > > **Cons**: No major cons, but sometimes I feel like I miss updates on the dashboard so would be good to be able to filter or be notified proactively of relevant changes in my industry area. > > Lovely team to work with, very helpful and ease of platform has made issuing and managing media much easier task and less adminstrative. ----- ### "A Practical & Efficient Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Lawrence** | *June 19, 2025* | Gambling & Casinos | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: An efficient platform which simplifies media list management and press release distribution. The ability to build targeted lists and easily edit is a major plus, and having journalist contact details and recent articles in one place saves a lot of time. I also find the Chrome add-on particularly useful for adding contacts to lists quickly and easily. > > **Cons**: While the platform is efficient, the journalist database can sometimes feel a little out of date. The actual interface for editing releases can feel slightly clunky when editing longer releases also, and slightly temperamental when pasting content. A couple of times I’ve forgotten to attach photos to press releases – perhaps a more prominent place for attachments or a simple flag reminder may help. > > While I occasionally find contact details that are out of date, issues are quickly sorted and using MediaHQ has been a positive experience thanks to the reliable and straightforward way to manage press distribution and media outreach. It’s particularly useful for building targeted media lists and getting press releases out quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/196943/mediahq?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/196943/mediahq) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
